Twenty Years of Ecological Change in Arctic Muscidae (Diptera) at Zackenberg, Greenland Twenty years of ecological change in Arctic Muscidae (Diptera) at Zackenberg, Greenland By Sarah Loboda Department of Natural Resource Sciences McGill University, Montreal August 2020 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy © Sarah Loboda, 2020 1 ‘The truth is that we need invertebrates but they don’t need us. If human beings were to disappear tomorrow, the world would go on with little change. (…) But if invertebrates were to disappear, I doubt that the human species could last more than a few months.’ Wilson (1987) 2 Dedication This thesis is dedicated to Terry Wheeler, a passionate entomologist, outdoor enthusiast, talented speaker, and teacher. He was the person I enjoyed the most going to conferences with, chasing great talks. Without him, I would not have made the jump in the adventure of a Ph.D. 3 Table of Contents Dedication

Changes in vegetation structure can alter the physical habitat structure, thermal environment, and food available to arthropods, which play an important role in the structure and functioning of Arctic ecosystems. Not only do they provide key ecosystem services such as pollination and nutrient cycling, they are an essential food source for migratory birds. In this study I examined the relationships between the abundance, diversity, and community composition of arthropods and the height and cover of several shrub species across a tundra-shrub gradient in northwestern Alaska. To characterize nestling diet of common passerines that occupy this gradient, I used next-generation sequencing of fecal matter. Willow cover was strongly and consistently associated with abundance and biomass of arthropods and significant shifts in arthropod community composition and diversity.

  • The Canopy Arthropods of Old and Mature Pine Pinus Sylvestris in Norway
    ECOGRAPHY 26: 490–502, 2003 The canopy arthropods of old and mature pine Pinus syl7estris in Norway Karl H. Thunes, John Skarveit and Ivar Gjerde Thunes, K. H., Skarveit, J. and Gjerde, I. 2003. The canopy arthropods of old and mature pine Pinus syl6estris in Norway. – Ecography 26: 490–502. We fogged 24 trees in two pine dominated forests in Norway with a synthetic pyrethroid in order to compare the canopy-dwelling fauna of arthropods between costal (Kvam) and boreal (Sigdal) sites and between old (250–330 yr) and mature (60–120 yr) trees at Sigdal. Almost 30 000 specimens were assigned to 510 species; only 93 species were present at both sites. Species diversity, as established by rarefaction, was similar in old and mature trees. However, the number of species new to Norway (including nine species new to science) was significantly higher in the old trees. We suggest that the scarcity of old trees, habitat heterogeneity and structural differences between old and mature trees may explain these patterns. Productivity and topographic position at the site of growth explained the between-tree variation in species occurrence for the more abundant species, which were mainly Collembola and Oribatida. Species diversity was similar at the boreal and coastal sites, but there were clear differences in species composition. K. H. Thunes ([email protected]) and I.

The actual arthropod taxa comprising the chick diet are however rarely known, complicating assessments of ecological interactions. In this study, I identified the nestling diet of Svalbard snow bunting (Plectrophenax nivalis) for the first time. Faecal samples of snow bunting chicks were collected in Adventdalen, Svalbard in the breeding season 2018 and analysed via DNA metabarcoding. Simultaneously, the availability of prey arthropods was measured via pitfall trapping. The occurrence of 32 identified prey taxa in the nestling diet changed according to varying abundances and emergence patterns within the tun- dra arthropod community: Snow buntings provisioned their offspring mainly with the most abundant prey items which were in the early season different Chironomidae (Diptera) taxa and Scathophaga furcata (Diptera: Scathophagidae), followed by Spilogona dorsata (Diptera: Mus- cidae).

    The Diptera of Lancashire and Cheshire: Muscoidea, Part I by Phil Brighton 32, Wadeson Way, Croft, Warrington WA3 7JS [email protected] Version 1.0 21 December 2020 Summary This report provides a new regional checklist for the Diptera families Muscidae and Fannidae. Together with the families Anthomyiidae and Scathophagidae these constitute the superfamily Muscoidea. Overall statistics on recording activity are given by decade and hectad. Checklists are presented for each of the three Watsonian vice-counties 58, 59, and 60 detailing for each species the number of occurrences and the year of earliest and most recent record. A combined checklist showing distribution by the three vice-counties is also included, covering a total of 241 species, amounting to 68% of the current British checklist. Biodiversity metrics have been used to compare the pre-1970 and post-1970 data both in terms of the overall number of species and significant declines or increases in individual species. The Appendix reviews the national and regional conservation status of species is also discussed. Introduction manageable group for this latest regional review.

  • Arctic Insects As Indicators of Environmental Change H.V
    ARCTIC VOL, 45,NO. 2 (JUNE 1992)P. 159-166 Arctic Insects as Indicators of Environmental Change H.V. DANKS’ (Received 17 June 1991 ;accepted in revised form 2 October 1991) ABSTRACT. The great diversity of terrestrial arthropods in the Arctic suggests that these organisms are especially useful to monitor environmental change there, where warming as a result of climatic change is expected to be especially pronounced and where current conditions are limiting for many organisms. Based on existing information about arctic faunas and how they differ from temperate ones, this paper suggests several elements, including ratios and other quantitative indexes, that can be used for long-term evaluations of change. These elements include composition indexes, range limits, marker species, interspecific ratios, relationship shifts, phenological and physiological indicators, and key sites. Using such elements in a planned way would exploit the diversity of arctic insects and emphasize their importance in arctic systems. Key words: arctic arthropods, arctic insects, arctic fauna, climatic change, environmental change,monitoring, indicator species, long-term research RÉSUMÉ. La grande diversité d’arthropodes terrestres dans l’Arctique suggkre que ces organismes se prêtent particulièrement bien à la surveillance des changements qui prennent place dans cet environnement,où l’on s’attend à un réchauffement assez prononcé suite aux changements climatiques et où les conditions actuelles sont défavorables à beaucoup d’organismes. En s’appuyant sur l’information actuelle concernant les espèces arctiques et la façon dont elles diffèrent desespèces tempérées, cet article propose divers Cléments, y compris des rapports et d’autres index quantitatifs, à utiliser pour effectuer une évaluation à long terme des changements.

Phaonia amicula Villeneuve, 1922 is noted from Finland for the first time. Keywords Species list, Finland, Diptera, biodiversity, faunistics Introduction Four families make up the traditional superfamily Muscoidea: Scathophagidae, An- thomyiidae, Fanniidae and Muscidae. The monophyly of the superfamily has been strongly questioned (Nirmala et al. 2001, Kutty et al. 2010) on the basis of DNA sequence analyses. Three of the four families of Muscoidea are treated in this paper, the fourth (An- thomyiidae) is covered in a separate paper in this issue of ZooKeys.

He was educated for the medical profession and took his degree, but devoted himself to zoology, especially to entomology. For many years he was keeper of the entomological department of the Berlin Natural History Museum and also a professor of zoology at the University of Berlin. About the year 1876, differences with the then director of the Berlin Museum induced him to resign his appointment in Berlin, and he subsequently accepted the professorship of Zoology at Greifswald, which he held until his death. Gerstaecker was an industrious and thorough worker in all departments of entomology. Among his principal works may be noted the “Arthropoda” in the “Handbuch der Zoologie” (1863) and the same phylum in Bronn´s “Klassen und Ordnungen der Tierreichs”.
